And now the fun begins....

When it come to babies I'm old fashioned. I just love a baby in a smocked romper or wrapped in a beautiful vintage shawl. I'm the same with names. And so it seems with decorating. I know there is a huge trend with modern nursery's right now, but that's just not going to cut it round here.

So "Barney" will be sleeping in a vintage style rattan cane cot and sleeping on pure Irish linen until he's old enough to protest and demand Thomas the Tank or shudder Barney sheets.

These two nursery's are getting the cogs turning - both are pottery barn kids and they now ship to Australia.

Happy weekend - I am going shopping for a pregnancy support pillow so hopefully this ever growing bump can have a more comfortable sleep.

All in the family.

Dear Mr Lauren,

As a loyal customer I would like to personally apologise for the meltdown of your US on line store today. Since you are the head the worldwide fashion powerhouse that is Ralph Lauren I thought it best to go to the "top" to explain.

You see yesterday I found out that my first born due in February 2012, will be a son. The first grandchild on either side of my family this has lead to a range of emotions from family members and overnight, a lot of thinking and planning. Today my mother seems to have tried to purchase everything available for sizes 0 - 1 year boys, and this has led to a breakdown if you will of your online store.

And Economists are saying retail is slumping!!

So I would like to apologise for our part in your current IT woes. It was purely about a love of classic American sportswear. WE all know you are the master.

I know you must have a team of experts on the case now and we look forward to shopping with you again soon.

Kind regards,
Rachael

Its out there and it is a BOY and we are surprised and thrilled!
My mother may have to send the Lauren's a Christmas card this year.
That's all.

B is for Bugaboo

Well I have news!

I am very humbled and pleased and thrilled to announce that out first Embryo transfer was successful and I am sitting here at 14 weeks my good friend nausea by my side.

When I found out I wanted to tell the world and post a special post on my blog but I thought about it and tweeted it and decided not too. So I have sat on it so to speak and then I have felt so sick and tired that I couldn't be bothered too. So I haven't until now but I plan on catching up.

The bump has been nicknamed "Barney" (not by me) but it seems to have stuck so Barney it is for the meantime. I will be opting for a more traditional name once this child is born - let me assure you of that!

I am telling my body at the end of 14 weeks that its time to start feeling great again. Because apparently that's whats supposed to happen. You hit 14 weeks and you feel alive. Have boundless amounts of energy and get that "glow."

So glow come and get me!

Game on ;)
